Christmas Shoes!

A print from the book Yule-Tide in Many Lands, 1916

I trust you remembered to put your shoes at the door last night? (December fifth marks the get-go of the celebration of St. Nicholas Day! His legendary tale has it that if slippers are left outside bedroom doors on the eve of 6 December, the Wonderworker will visit sleepyheads while they are being just that, filling their shoes with goodies!) Happy chocolate golden coins, pomegranates, ornaments and wrapped chocolate orange peels to all!

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like pie!

I love my Puddle!
